It's always the same. IP rights owners abuse legal users with their own trouble, banks abuse honest legal customers with their own trouble (like KYC etc.), internet servers start to abuse customers they know for many years with such idiotic age checks etc. etc. If they do so, they don't deserve my money.

Another dirty trick from Ali. Sometimes they publish codes for discount events like the one ending today. But some of the codes are not valid for the whole event, but pretty secretly for few days only. So if you say "Yeah, perhaps I would like to buy it but I'm going to do so tomorrow", the code you would like to use may be lit, however the event itself is not yet over. They really wish to lose customers.

Yeah, just happened again, I'm too late - no more coupons... 😆
Another funny thing about chineese age checks. If you log out, you can look the items you can't when you logged in with no age verification. If you try to make an order unlogged and log in during the process, such an item in your cart is disabled, you can't buy it nor look it. They are real clowns.

Not "they". But EU, US, UK and other governments. Ali neither wants not needs age control. The governments do, to justify their existence and to shut up the activists/SGWs. Ali does not care. "You wanted age control? Here you are..."

Maybe also use make-up for Aliexp. age verification 😜. 
Or wearing glasses over nylon face mask. Or opposite 🤔

Come on, don't be naive! Everybody loves more personal data, especially your face, your ID and your shopping list.

Of course! Though, in this case, your photo goes to Israel, and the shopping list (along with your addresses) to China.
How about if you use one of those full head silicon face masks, together with a wig. Does not look perfect, but would it pass the automated systems?
Problem is that if you don't have one yet, you may need age verification to buy one, although there are still sites that sell them without verification.

Including the GPS data of your location and a photo of your ID 😅
